I have Everyones linux loaded.. I am not able to run Audio Cds or Vcds directly... for the vcd .dat file it gives an error of unknown file type ... In case of audio cd it is able convert the files into MP3 but not able to play the cd directly........... do i have to run apatch or any thing like that.......

Oh, you mean ELX. Which version are you using (BizDesktop or PowerDesktop, and what # version of that)?

What program or programs are you using to play these files? You may not have the programs correctly configured, and/or you may not have the correct codec files needed to read these filetypes.

hi there

what kernel version are u using on ELX

and don't xine ,mplayer work here

well as of now i have switched over to redhat so here 2 i am havin probs
I installed xinetd which i think now is browser or some thing from the man pages.... i thought xine would be aplayer or something like that......... i installed from a rpm package......

hi there

xinetd is not a browser.....

from the man page of xinetd

xinetd performs the same function as inetd: it starts programs that
provide Internet services. Instead of having such servers started at
system initialization time, and be dormant until a connection request
arrives, xinetd is the only daemon process started and it listens on
all service ports for the services listed in its configuration file.
When a request comes in, xinetd starts the appropriate server. Because
of the way it operates, xinetd (as well as inetd) is also referred to
as a super-server.


so ucan see that xinetd is required for runnig the other services!!!!

what i would say is that get a latest xine-lib and xine-ui source package from xinehq.de

get the codecs from

http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br....52-1.i386.rpm


and everything works like a charm
